Live Production and Services (A/M)

Live Production and Services focuses on the technical and design choices, processes and skills required to support live and blended performances in an increasingly technological industry. Students develop knowledge and understanding of sound, light, audio visual elements, stage management, design, and construction. They develop the technical skills and knowledge for the creative application of traditional and emerging technologies of the live production industry across a broad range of contexts such as live music, theatre, events, artistic installations, and exhibitions. Students examine industry practices and processes for a variety of purposes. They investigate the purpose of live production, occupations, future directions, and trends. Students develop skills in communicating orally, and in written and graphical modes to develop and deliver technical and design specifications.

The course also provides for the development of employability skills such as communication, critical and creative thinking, problem solving, and teamwork, which are transferable to other industry areas. Through the study of this subject, students will gain experiences that can be applied in a range of contexts, including work, study, and recreation, assisting them to make informed choices.
